Found North Batch 012 is a highly acclaimed, 16-year-old cask strength Canadian whisky. This limited-edition release is a complex blend of 11 different corn and rye components aged between 16 and 22 years, featuring a mashbill of 86% corn, 13% rye, and 1% malted barley. While previous batches highlighted the brand’s blending artistry, Batch 012 showcases their specialized new-wood maturation program. The liquid is anchored by a 2009 corn component double-oaked for 11 months in heavy toast, char #2 new American oak barrels, combined with ultra-aged components finished in toasted French oak. The result is a non-chill filtered, natural color whisky with incredible viscosity and a deep, decadent flavor profile.
Flavor Notes
The tasting experience begins with a rich nose of French vanilla ice cream, toasted marshmallow, maple syrup, sweet tobacco, and burnt orange. On the viscous, “flambéed” palate, the initial burst of molasses and toasted vanilla transitions into dark chocolate mocha, maraschino cherries, leather, and a unique savory chocolate chip cookie quality. The exceptionally long finish wraps up with notes of bubbling rock candy, bold espresso, and a warming wave of baking spices like cinnamon and clove.
ABV: 54.1%
